I used a brand new Benelli MR1 .223 Rifle and this Remington ammo. Out of the first 25rds.I ever fired out of this weapon with the Remington ammo, I had 5 FTE. It didn't matter if I loaded using the magazine, or 1 rd. at a time by placing the round into the chamber w/o the magazine in place, it still had multiple FTE. And, after just these 25 rds. it was probably some of the dirtiest ammo I ever used in forty years.

To make sure it was not the Benelli MR1, I switched to Nosler Custom Competition 77gr. ammo to zero the rifle. I also used Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 55gr. and Lapua 69gr., w/o one misfire from any of these. I did a slow aim-fire and a rapid fire w/o a glitch.

Maybe I got a bad lot of the Remington, and/or the powder load wasn't the same for each round? I purchased 200 rds.of this Remington ammo for my semi-auto rifles, mainly because of the affordability, but after the FTE experiences, I'll only use the Remington ammo from a bolt action rifle.

Remington UMC’s .223 Remington load will serve well in any
AR-15 or other firearm chambered in 5.56 NATO. This range ammunition has
similar ballistic properties to M193 ball and propels a 55 grain full metal
jacket bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,240 feet per second. Each box contains
20 cartridges in plastic racks for easy loading. This ammo uses Boxer primers
and reloadable brass casings.

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company gets its name from the
Civil War, when it supplied ammunition to forces loyal to the Union government
and the Lincoln administration. After the war, it reincorporated and became a
major supplier of ammo to the private market. Major milestones in the history
of UMC include the first production of American centerfire ammunition and the
first production of cartridges in the venerable .22LR. The UMC and Remington
brands have had shared ownership for many decades; currently, UMC focuses on
producing large amounts of ammunition in popular cartridges such as .223
Remington.
